@ Holly: Yeah that's kinda what I'm wanting to figure out.

I hear so much about cob being a thermal mass and holding heat. I imagine that it would hold the cold in as well if set up correctly. I have no cob experience, just hoping those that do can shed more light on the matter.

I had read a few places about running ductwork underground and piping the cool air into the house. It got me to wondering if it was even necessary; if the house would self-regulate it's temp.

A part of me doesn't feel it would be completely necessary to insulate along the interior walls. Is that naive of me?

For those that have lived in cob housing; particularly in the Midwest:
How did you cool your cob house during the summer months? Did it just stay naturally cool?
